We camped during the week in July. Since the sites are "first come, first served" we weren't sure if we'd be able to get in. There are only 7 sites and one of those is taken by a camp host during the peak season. I'm not sure when that is; it definitely isn't July! We were the only ones in the campground both nights. We were lulled to sleep by Citico Creek which was down the hill behind our campsite but can be heard throughout the campground. It was an easy 2-minute walk to the creek down the trail.
Bear-proof garbage bins are provided, but we didn't see any evidence of bears or raccoons. The sites are level and in good condition. There is a vault toilet (with toilet paper!) but no water or electricity. There is no cell service. The sites are fairly level and are a good size with adequate spacing between them.
We would definitely camp here again but would make sure to have a backup plan just in case. Supposedly the campground is busy when the trout are released and during hunting season. The road leading to the campground is a one-lane, gravel road with potholes so be mindful when traveling on the road.

Nice place to stay. Beautiful and out of the way. Drive in and out has beautiful scenery. Well worth the effort to get there!
